I feel like handicap on Nadal against this Djokovic is a sure thing.

did not catch what handicap, you mean betting on Nadal with handicap, or to catch Nadal on +2.5 or something
because, i think that if they meet in the final, quote will be @1.4 on Nadal, or something similar to that, and handicap could @1.1
I meant handicap on Nadal -3,5 or -4,5. I am hoping they will place -3.5 as a basic handicap with odds around 1.9 and that means I would get some nice value.

It is possible this discussion will soon be obsolete. Schwartzman is playing a great match and if he manages to keep this levels Nadal could be out of the tournament. If that happens I will probably try to catch some good odds on him. It is not often that you see Nadal pressured into making unforced errors on clay.

Damn, Nadal is out already, Schwartzman beats him in straight sets.

Nadal is really has a off night, congrats to Schwartzman, his biggest win, I hope this will give him confidence to go and enter the finals.

Well Lorenzo Musetti couldn't keep the momentum losing to Dominik Koepfer in straight sets. I would of liked to see Musetti win and go on to face Djokovic as it would of been interesting to see how well he plays against a top ranked player. Even though he lost I still think that he is one to watch in the future as he does look like he'll be a good player.

I would have loved to see him play Djoko as well. That match would suit him perfectly to show all the shots in his Arsenal. I did not like Musseti thinking in the match yesterday. He was a bit off his best game, possibly due to injury, and instead of going back to basics and grinding it out he went for low percentage shots which are tough to make even when you are on top of your game. That is why he lost that 2nd set with 6:0 result. Musseti is still very young so I hope he will learn as he gets more experience.

Don't see any interesting matches today (betting) so I am turning my focus on Premier League Smiley
Maybe I will include Beretini and Djoko handicap on some multi.

I think this whole tournament for Musetti was a very good learning experience and that he will take a lot out of this tournament and can then build from there. The good thing is as you said he is still young and has a lot more to learn and improve on his game which I think he can and has the potential to be a top 50 player in the next year or two if he stays healthy.

Tightly contested match between Berrettini and Ruud, final score, 6-4, 3-6, 6-7. Not sure if @Trofo has Berrettini/Djokovic on is parlay, because he will have lost for sure.

Koepfer is also showing good form against Djokovic and even up, 6-3, 4-6, entering the third, this will be exciting, however, I won't finished the match though because I'm going to bed now  Smiley
I don't have them, for now it seems like I made a good decision but still waiting for couple of games to come trough.

Really surprised about Djokovic match. I watched just few points here and there and it always seemed like Djokovic just broke his opponent and then he will run away with easy victory. He started with 4:0 and then lost 3 games in a row. Then he had 0:40 couple of times and did not managed to break the opponent. I don't remember that happening ever. Even against top 3 players or best servers in the world.

Number 4 seed M. Berrettini is up one game already winning the first set, 6-4, but Ruud is coming back strong in the second 3-0 now. Nadal vs Schwartzman tomorrow, great match for Nadal, but he is on fire recently and I don't think he will drop a set.

Another good match to see is Shapovalov vs Dimitrov tomorrow. I think Nadal has an easy draw here, if he won against Schwartzman, he will be facing the winner of Shapovalov vs Dimitrov. So we might see a Nadal vs Djokovic final here.

As expected, Busta didn't offer much resistance, 6-1, 6-1 easy win for him. He will be going against Raonic next. Djokovic vs Filip Krajinović tomorrow.

did you bet on Raonic, since you are certain that he is going to beat Lajovic today?
it is a good quote @1.4, and you already seen Raonic against Nadal, i think that he is a bit of favorite and @1.4 is a good value, but Lajovic is good on clay, while Raonic does not have some great strikes on clay

Musetti is set as a favorite with Nishikori by bettors, i will put something on handicap for Nishikori - -2.5 @1.65 seems as good choice

I hope that you didn't bet high stake on the "good quote" for Raonic to win as he lost the match. For me odds of 1.4 are too low to place a bet on.
I expected that Nadal would win, but expected that it would be a closer match.

Nah, as I have said, I'm not betting on this tournament, it's a pass for me. Unfortunately, Raonic lost, so if I have bet on him, I'll probably be frustrated.

I will echo the sentiments that Nadal is really hard to beat in this tournament. I'll probably cheer for @Trofo. Smiley

@vella85 - We've been following Tsitsipas, I think it's time to look for Lorenzo Musetti very closely because he is showing confidence with every win. Let's see how far can he go in this tournament.

Well Lorenzo Musetti couldn't keep the momentum losing to Dominik Koepfer in straight sets. I would of liked to see Musetti win and go on to face Djokovic as it would of been interesting to see how well he plays against a top ranked player. Even though he lost I still think that he is one to watch in the future as he does look like he'll be a good player.
It will be interesting to see how Musetti will play against Djokovic, if he could have won against Koepfer. Maybe he was really suffering from the pain, wasn't able to watch the match, but as per @Trofo he suddenly switch his style and go for a low percentage shot? Well I will say that it is inexperience that might really drove him to try this one in such critical game, thus losing 6-0.

I actually think that Lorenzo Musetti is a real dark horse in this tournament as he just beat Nishikori in straight sets, we know Nishikori isn't at his best right now but still this must give the young Italian more confidence in this tournament and may cause some more upsets.

Edit: Another great prediction Smiley Musseti lost 6:3 6:0 and what is worse he gifted the opponent with majority of the points. I sort of expected this breakdown to happen but not against Koepfer. Musseti looked like the guy without plan B even in the matches he played good and today it just broke apart. You simply don't play a drop shot on break point when it isn't your day. In his defense he asked for a physio and had a shoulder treatment so maybe that was part of the reason for bad performance today.

Right, the kid was suffering some kind of shoulder injury that bother him in the game that's why he didn't performed as expected. But still reaching this far and beating great players along the way, I think everyone should agree that he has a bright future ahead of him. Give him a more more years and by age 20+, when the big 3 has been slowing down, and the young generations are taking over, I think his name will be there fighting Thiem's, Medvedev's or Zverev's along the way.

I watch his first two matches very impressive start for this young guy just 18 years old and play with good confidence in third round match he lost very badly against @Koepfer 6 - 4 6 - 0 but we can say we are going to have very good player in near future if he try his best for improving his game and some skills.

I feel like he will have an easy job of dispatching Koepfer today. I watched both of these guys a little and Musseti has much more weapons in his arsenal. After that he will play against Djokovic probably and here I am waiting too see the odds. Whatever the odds they decide on there should be a lot of value in handicaps. I think he will be good in the first set against Djoko and then Djoko will get in his head which will result with more and more misses as the match progresses.

did not play Raonic yesterday, and that was good, mostly because i am usually not betting against players from my country

Dimitrov plays with Sinner today, and i am surprised with a @2 quote on him, so will put this early bet, watched a bit of Sinner match with Tsitsipas, did not saw anything special about him, and Dimitrov is not in particularly good form, but he is stable with lower ranked players, will see

Stefanos Tsitsipas let us down again, we can see he has a lot of talent but these poor performances put me off betting on him. I bet on him to win the US Open only for some value but he is a risky bet until he is more consistent because right now he isn't. I thought that once he won the second set that he would go on and win the match but that third set was poor from him and was beaten 6-2 by an unseeded player. I think he still needs more time to mature and become more consistent with his tennis.

Yes mate, it was really a disappointment again from Tsitsipas, although I have a back up on Zverev in the US Open. I think his form is off right now, and he seems he can't get over mentally and he is breaking down and not that consistent anymore. I already lost my bet, so I won't try to stretch my luck in this tournament. Probably will just wait for the outcome, haven't check the draw but it will be good if we are going to see Nadal vs Djokovic.

Nadal is through with an easy win which we expected and same with Djokovic winning easy in straight sets.

As expected, Busta didn't offer much resistance, 6-1, 6-1 easy win for him. He will be going against Raonic next. Djokovic vs Filip Krajinović tomorrow.

Yeah its a shame friend as we can see he has so much talent and potential to be a top 5 player and stay there but his inconsistently lets him down in matches like we just saw in his last match. I didn't bet on anyone in this tournament as I prefer the Grand Slams to bet on.

I actually think that Lorenzo Musetti is a real dark horse in this tournament as he just beat Nishikori in straight sets, we know Nishikori isn't at his best right now but still this must give the young Italian more confidence in this tournament and may cause some more upsets.

I tried betting on tennis yesterday and I lost all bets hehe. However, from my casual eye, I noticed that the Italians were winning against the players who are favored to win. This might not be a coincidence, I reckon. Italian mafia?

I am looking for something to blame for my losses hehehehe.
Nah, this tournament is in Rome, so probably Italian has home court advantage here and probably using the court and very familiar with it. Nadal is unstoppable in this surface, I wouldn't bet against him, lol. Look at how he destroys Busta here, very very easy match for him. So Nadal will be the favorite here and I don't know who's going to stop Nadal as he really looks fresh as well. Did anyone bet on Musetti? he won against Nishikori? Again very promising player to watch.

Then another match Jannik Sinner managed to surprise by beating Stefanos Tsitsipas the top tennis player from Greek. Even though last
year Sinner was defeated by Tsitsipas, so Sinner's victory was to avenge the defeat against Tsitsipas. Sinner managed to lock in victory
when Tsitsipas made 58 unforced errors.

Sinner did not won the match, Tsitsipas lost it, in the final there is no difference Sinner is in the next round, but it was not because of his good match, it was simply because Tsitsipas had a lousy day, and tried to finish the match asap, without noticing that he cannot win easy points
if he just prolonged points, he would win because Sinner would make much more mistakes, but he did not, he wanted to go out of the court as fast as possible, and that resulted with bad choices and lost match in the end
nevertheless, Sinner will finish competition in next round, Grigor would just play easy match with him

Rafael Nadal is very happy because he can win easily against Pablo Carreno Busta who is a US OPEN 2020 semifinalist, now Nadal will
advance to the third round of Italy OPEN 2020. I am quite satisfied to see Nadal's game, it's a good start for Nadal. It was also Nadal's
first match on clay since winning at French OPEN last year.

Then another match Jannik Sinner managed to surprise by beating Stefanos Tsitsipas the top tennis player from Greek. Even though last
year Sinner was defeated by Tsitsipas, so Sinner's victory was to avenge the defeat against Tsitsipas. Sinner managed to lock in victory
